How can I make a K-Cup without a Keurig or coffee grounds?

You have to be patient, but it is possible.

The way that a Keurig coffee maker works is as follows.

1) the machine pokes a hole in the top of the K-cup for the water to come in
2) the machine pokes a hole in the bottom of the K-cup for the brewed coffee to come out.
3) when you start brewing the Keurig pumps water (fairly high pressure) through the top hole.
4) the coffee brews and the incoming water pushes the brewed coffee out the bottom.
5) this continues until the brewing amount is done.
6) the Keurig then pumps some air (not compressed, just regular) into the K-cup to push out all the water
7) All done

It would be easy enough for you to poke holes in the top and bottom. The trick is for you to get boiling water going through at just the right speed to brew but not overbrew and not overflow. That’s the hard part.

Or you could open the k-cups you stole and dump the coffee in a regular Mr Coffee filter and pour boiling water over it to brew.

Both of these are workable alternatives.

Why are you a thief?

Can I just put the mix in a mug and pour hot water on it and stir?

Also it is not a big deal

There was also hot cocoa I have.

No, you can’t just mix. This isn’t instant coffee. Instant coffee dissolves. This is just ground regular coffee and you would end up drinking the grounds. Which, trust me, taste awful.

Cocoa -hard to say,it depends on how they packaged it. I wouldn’t.

@SergeantQueen: “I stole 10 K-Cups from the dentist.”

Umm….

Well they had it out anyone could take it
Dang it. So what do I do if I only have coffee filters?

@SergeantQueen: “Well they had it out anyone could take it”

I think they intended patients to have a cup of coffee while they waited – not steal 10 cups and run.

Daddy wouldn’t approve – or maybe he would!

Why did you steal k cups if you don’t have a keurig? It is a big deal to steal. Most offices have cameras in the waiting rooms, so they probably know it was you. By stealing they may stop leaving coffee out for the other patients, so that’s pretty selfish.

It’s probably not worth getting yourself in any kind of trouble, but it is definitely worth returning these. Now. Can you put them in a bag and drop them in a mail slot or mailbox at the dentist?

No

^ Do you steal often?

No. They are K cups.

@SergeantQueen: “They are K cups.”

Yes, you said that.

So, is this the first time you’ve stolen?

Do you have a coffee maker at all? One with a filter? If yes, I’d open the k cup, dump the coffee into the filter and then pour boiling water over it.

Some K cups are filled with flavored powder like hot chocolate or green tea. In that case you just dump the whole k-cup into the mug and add boiling water.

My question was “How can I make a K-Cup without a Keurig or coffee grounds?”
This is in General.

@luckyguy its a flavored coffee

My advice to you: if you don’t want something like this to happen, don’t include the detail in the first place. It’s completely unrelated to the topic at hand and will arouse a lot of unnecessary question. You don’t have to include everything.

@SergeantQueen: “I stole 10 K-Cups from the dentist.”

Done

@SergeantQueen: “Some people on this site are retards.”

Hmmm…

@SergeantQueen: “I can say what I want.”

Of course you can.

Is stealing ok (ethically) to you?

Done

@SergeantQueen: “They were out for everyone. Fuck off.”

@SergeantQueen: “I stole 10 K-Cups from the dentist.”

I’m done with this question. I got my answer stop responding. I don’t care.

@SergeantQueen are you going down the road of that you-know-what user? Because I notice that you are acting very unlike yourself or who I think you are these days.

Look, it’s just some K-cups. Why does it have to turn into some kind of flame war? You could have prevented it. No one needs to know you stole them. It’s a petty detail and adds no substance to the supposedly “general” discussion. And you already see people questioning OP’s intention all the time. You could just have stopped with “as asked”.

And you even attack people for questioning the detail. Why don’t you just leave everything alone and focus on the answers that do answer your question, or at least discuss things in a more civil manner?

You can say what you want. But the world doesn’t contain you alone. It contains other people. And respect is everything.

I can’t believe I’m saying this to you. I thought you were much better than that.

I’m sorry

This is in General so… If it’s flavored coffee with grounds, go the filter route. ,

Also, if you cut the top off neatly you can re-purpose the empty cups and use them for seed starters.
